Our panel of three experts tasted the sliced cheese samples ‘blind’ (without knowing the brands). Samples were tasted cold (unmelted) and also warm (melted on toast), and each sample was independently judged on appearance, aroma, flavour and texture.

Here’s a breakdown of the sensory weightings:

  • Flavour (40%)
  • Texture (30%)
  • Aroma (20%)
  • Appearance (10%)
